Ehsaas....a feeling

Not Again

"Its my turn..you're cheating" Yunus was shouting at top of his lungs.

"No..its my turn, you just now did batting!!" Now i was shouting at top of my lungs.

"No its mine"

"Its mine"

"Nooooooooooo"

"Yessssssssssssss"

"Okay you both enough its neither your's nor your..its mine" shabbir said.

"How come?" We both asked together.

"Remember..after fahad it was my turn and from last twenty minutes you both are continuosly batting" shabbir was angry.

We both looked each other and we were like we played that long and didn't gave others a chance!!!

Yunus quickly gave the bat to shabbir..and we all started playing again.

Today was sunday and we all cousins decided to play cricket and right now our team is winning.

After three long hours finally we won and that was the end of the match!!

We were chilling on the couch when Maha came with the juices. We all took our respective glass but what I saw was Maha was hiding something from me and i can understand from her behaviour.

I was willing to ask her the reason by I decided to keep quiet untill my cousin's go.

Soon it was maghrib and we all went to the masjid. After namaz we all parted our ways and went towards our respective homes.

"Aah you all three came back so early?" Maryam was tapping her foot very eagerly.

"I was dying for this time" Maha said.

"Me to" followed by mum.

Gosh what has happened to these ladies. I looked towards dad and jij and they were also smiling mischievously. What is wrong with my family!!!!

"Okay my family now can you all break the ice?? What is it with you all that you all are behaving very odd!!"
I told them.

"First say please!!" Maha said

"Ahem ahem someone is being curious!!" Maryam said

"Masha Allah...you never let me knew once also that you're this crazy!!" Mum said

"That's a good sign na honey??" Dad said.

" Bro...really? I mean really you are so desperate??" Now it was jij

"Dad and jij you both also??"
"Now will you guys tell me what is this fuss all about??" I was totaly impatient by now.

"Well..ummm" Maha replied

"We have" Maryam replied

"Found a" Dad replied

"Girl" jij replied

"For you" mum said with lots of happiness.

"Say whhhhaaaattttt?????" I was shocked.
"I never knew you people were doing this behind my back?? I mean why?? There is no need for this.. I wont let this ever happen again!!"

"Beta calm down..first listen to us then give you're answer no one will force you son" mum was soothing me.

"No mom..there's no need to talk also...from my side its a big big big No" I shouted.

"Fahad..this is not the way to talk to you're mum..she's only asking you to listen to her...at the end of the day decision will be yours." Dad spoke in a louder tone.

"I am sorry mom.. I shouldn't have spoken to you in that way." I was very guilty..never in my life i have spoken to her in this way.

"Its okay beta..we understand" mum replied smilingly.

"Fine i am ready to listen to you all." I told them.

"That day when we went to Sanjha Chulha I and mom saw a girl" Maryam began.

My thoughts quickly went to that girl who was soothing that little boy. Don't know why but her voice and words are always at the back of mind. Chah ke bhi ni bhula pa ra hu.

"And instantly we both liked her. Her modesty and simplicity caught our eyes. And then and their we decided that we will find out about that girl and will talk to her parents. So we asked Imran(one of our guards) to find out. Soon we had got all the details and we decided to visit her place." Maryam finished saying.

"What we saw and heard was beyond our imagination. She doesn't have any of her parents nor any siblings. Her father never came to them and her mother died a month ago." Mum told.

"How they live? I mean money?" Dad was shocked.

"Well sometimes her dad use to send them money but that also not suffecient enough. She's just completed her school." Mom sighed

"Currently with whom she's living?" Jij spoke

"Well..Allah has blessed her with a very good neighbour cum family." Mum smiled.

We all raised our eyebrows inorder to please explain this.
To say that i am curious to know about her would be understatement i mean in todays life how can people survive without any income.
Allah ka lakh lakh shukar ehsaan that i am more than blessed.

"Umm..she's living in her home only but her guardian and caretaker is her childhood friend Atiqa's family. They treat her just like their family member. Dad they all are very good and innocent people. I personally liked them alot!!" Maryam spoke calmly.

"What's the name of my would be bhabhi?" Maha spoke fondly and winked me.

I was sending her one of my best glare.

"Her name is Seher Ahmed and she is nineteen years old." Mum said.

"Well Farida i don't mind her being my bahu. By listening about her only i can understand what kind of perfect daughter in law she will be in sha Allah." Dad happily announced.

Everyone was ver much happy and they all looked at me for my answer.

"I need sometime to think" I excused myself and went to my bedroom.

After dinner I was drinking coffee and thinking what my life has become after that day. How can i marry someone else when i lost all my faith in marriage. How can i give her love and care when in return i never got. What if she uses me and my family for money like every girl do? There was a tsunami of thoughts in my mind and i just don't know what to do?

"Faddy i understand what you're going through but Seher is diiferent from all other girls and i know she will be a good wife. I also understand that whatever happened that day no one can forget. We all were very much affected but you were more. But this time it wont turn out like before in sha Allah this is my gut feeling. Say yes for us for mom happiness and for youreself. She will complete half of your deen and your partner in jannah in sha Allah. Do istikhara and let us know." Aapu said calmly.

I nodded to her.
"Aur haan open your whatsapp and see i've send seher's picture to you. When everyone was talking that day at her place i clicked her picture." Aapu winked and went away.
